Object Rotate (Arrow Keys)

Rotates every selected object by a fixed step (90° by default) around its own local X, Y or Z axis — each object spins in place around its own origin, not around a shared pivot. Arrow keys go one way, Shift+arrow the other. Object Mode.

Hotkey: Left / Shift+Left — ±X; Down / Shift+Down — ±Y; Right / Shift+Right — ±Z.

Options

• Rotation Angle — the step in degrees; shared by all six directions and remembered for the next press.
• Per Object — rotate each selected object around its own origin (on) or only the active object (off).
• Reset Cursor — restore the 3D cursor's rotation mode afterwards.

Tips

• The 3D cursor is used as a temporary pivot and ends up at the last rotated object.
• Set the angle to 45 or 15 in the redo panel for finer steps.
